All:
I bought my TR3 about three years ago. I used it sporadically, but have had more time with it recently. I have always been surprised at the amount of water that leaked into my car (I can't speak for other cars). This weekend I noticed something in the trunk for which I need advice:
Rainwater runs into the channels along the edge of the trunk. It runs down these channels into two holes, one on each side of the trunk. From there it just runs into the trunk and puddles up. Now, I know there should be hoses attached to these holes to carry the water way, but when I lift up the mat on the trunk floor directly below where the water runs into the trunk there are no holes to which you could attach a hose to carry the water away from the car. However, there are holes in the trunk floor a bit more forward (near the back of the rear seat), but these seem at bit oddly located to be help divert water out of the car.
The car was restored some 10 years ago. Perhaps the restorer plugged the holes inadvertently?
Any help will be appreciated,
Mike
